Well, appalling for today, yes. It wasn't an appalling translation in the 17th century though. Given the resources available to them it was a rather competent translation, the fact that people still use it today boggles my mind though.

Other than to hear the aesthetics of some of the poetry, there really is no good reason to use the KJV.
